    Lana trás consigo um trabalho autoral, carregado de metáforas e analogias profundas, explora a subjetividade como ninguém.

    Hindi siya gaano kalakas kumpara sa mga totoong poets na inukit ang kanilang mga salita na kusang-loob. Ang nakakababaw ay ang sonic production kumpara sa pananalita niya.

    This spoken word poetry book is so beautiful. The poems feels nostalgic and shows idealism of things that everyone has gone through especially with themes of self righteousness and self doubt. Although it may not feel like a traditional poetry book it is truly something that you should not miss out on. Track “7” is a clear stand out point for this album, the journey Lana wrote takes you onThis spoken word poetry book is so beautiful.

    With this collection of poems, Lana Del Rey offers an alternate view of the sun-dazzled California dreaming that fuels her songs. Her spoken word pieces reveal a more immediate lyrical sophistication, but they maintain the strange and powerful magic Del Rey has been cultivating her entire career.

    Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is one of the most fully formed albums she has put out. Yes, some of the rhymes are clunky and a tad juvenile, but there is a sort of elegance to them. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the album I’ve always wanted Del Rey to make. It’s brave, in a naïve way, and filled with some of glorious subtle backing tracks.

    While at times ‘Violet…’ shows Lana’s fine lyrical prowess, quotes primed for Tumblr captions, most of the time it’s more sixth former trying their best to impress at their first slam poetry event.
